Durkheim, religion, and the sociology of nationalism

Geneviève Zubrzycki and Paul Christopher Johnson

Chapter 10 in The Elgar Companion to Émile Durkheim, 2026, pp 159-175 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines the different ways Durkheim's writings on religion have shaped the sociology of nationalism since the 1960s—namely his influence on the scholarly expansion of the notion of civil religion, the study of religious nationalism, and the recent attention to symbols, emotions, and the senses in the study of religio-nationalism.
